Trump Can't Find a Law Firm to Represent Him

Martin Longman: “President Trump can’t find a top law firm that wants to represent him. He and his top aides have tried. They’ve looked around. They’ve had conference calls. But they got zip, nada, bupkis. The top litigators and their firms have various reasons why they won’t agree to represent the president of the United States. Here are some of them:

1. They won’t get paid. 2. Their client wouldn’t follow their advice. 3. They represent clients who have been or might be subpoenaed in money laundering aspects of the case. 4. It would destroy the image and reputation of their firm. 5. It would ‘kill’ efforts to recruit top lawyers to their firm. 6. They’ll be washing their hair that year (“I’m too busy to represent the POTUS.”) 7. He can’t be saved.
